I thought I would have to miss today's #BirdOfTheDay because I rarely take photos of ducks, but then I found this male torrent duck from Ucumarí Regional Park in Colombia for #DucksOutOfWater

One of my #least photographed #birds is this wattled guan at Ucumarí Regional Park in Colombia, a bird I've only seen once. The guide was very excited to find it, and it was so far back in the trees that it took me half an hour of maneuvering to get a single decent photo.

I love a good #closeup. This green heron was hunting in Francis Bay on St. John in the US Virgin Islands.
